Many sports experts regard the stadium as one of the best of its kind in the nation. The seating capacity is 10,800 for baseball and can accommodate up to 16,000 when the patio, banquet, and grassy side areas are used. The stadium also houses 12 suites and state-of-the-art dressing and training rooms. It features a meeting/banquet room named for Michael Jordan, who played for the 1994 Birmingham Barons.

The stadium serves as the home for the SEC baseball tournament as well as Hoover High School football. Hoover Metropolitan Stadium hosted the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) Birmingham Open on July 13-16, 2006, the first beach volleyball tournament to ever be played in Alabama. The feature court was above the baseball diamond as well as eight other courts on the field, made of 222 tons of sand per court.

In March 2007 the Barons purchased naming rights for the stadium from the parks board for $110,000 per year for 9 years. The Barons, in turn, struck a deal with Regions Bank to rename the stadium "Regions Park".

In 2008 the Barons purchased a new 42'-9" tall by 56' wide scoreboard from Daktronics, Inc. It has a 35' x 15' main video screen for replays and a smaller second screen for player information.

In November 2010 the Barons signed a letter of intent to relocate to a planned new Downtown baseball park in Birmingham as early as 2012. Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos stated that the city would accept nothing short of a 5-year extension of the team's lease, which was up for renewal in December 2010, complicating the planned move. Art Clarkson stated he would bring an independent league team to Hoover if it became available.

The Barons opened the gates for free admission to the team's last two games of the 2012 season. After the Barons' departure, Hoover officials returned the stadium to its original name.
